Used to import a set of character descriptions from an external document or set of documents.
In its simplest form, the <import-character> tag references an external document and either imports all <character> elements it finds there, or import those of a specific name.
<import-characters href="mycharacters.yags" name="Fred" display="full">
</import-characters>
The above would import all characters called 'Fred' from the file mycharacters.yags.
A more complicated use is to import characters from an Encyclopedia. In this case, the entire Encyclopedia is searched for any characters matching the provided role and topic.
<import-characters source="/usr/share/xml/habisfern" topic="weidany" display="package">
</import-characters>
The topic must be the URI of a topic in the Encyclopedia. If this is not specified, then no characters will be found. The @display tag should be one of 'character', 'package' or 'stock', as per the @role tag of a <characters> element.
